We thought you’d like to hear some recent news in the Cru world. In June, David Robbins was selected as the 4th president of Campus Crusade for Christ International/Cru. Robbins, 46, brings more than two decades of experience with Cru, most recently serving as CEO of FamilyLife, a ministry of Cru dedicated to helping families grow closer to God and each other, and impacting their corner of the world. David Robbins is a familiar name to Cru staff, and we are excited for the leadership he will bring to Cru in the years ahead!
Oops!
We had an omission in our prayer letter last month. We left off the last couple sentences of our daughter, Sarah’s summer mission trip experience in West Asia, this summer! Here’s the rest of her story:
“I hope and pray that I can continue to practice boldness in these ways in my ministry at my church, in my family, school, and in every mundane moment of my life! Finally, getting to worship in a different language with people of a different culture gave me such a beautiful picture of what heaven will look like!”
These are a few more quotes from students who went on summer mission this summer. Thanks for investing with us in students like these, and their ministry to thousands this summer!
“I feel a lot more confident with initiating spiritual conversations, and I feel like I better understand how to share the gospel with people that I am friends with. I was also challenged to be more humble when it came to being a part of a team and considering other people’s interests.” – Aksanti – North Africa Summer Mission
“I went into the mission in a season of spiritual burnout, and through prayer and scheduled time in the Word, God renewed my desire to spend time with Him. God was also moving in incredible ways through our outreach — over 3,000 people heard the Gospel and 548 people indicated decisions to follow Christ!” – Lydia, Ocean City, NJ Summer Mission
PRAISE & PRAYER REQUESTS!
Praise God for the changed lives of students who went on summer mission and the tens of thousands they reached with the gospel!
Please pray for Cru’s new president, David Robbins. That he would continue to walk closely with God and that God would guide and protect him.
A Gift from Cru!
